Chapter 27 The first interpretation
"Okay, Miss Yula, you can go back to the front hall."
Yura left the room.
"Finally, Congressman Carter, I have a few questions for you."
"Just ask, I should have a conclusion based on your expression."
"Absolutely. Who has the key to Anne's room and yours?"
"I have all the keys to the house, and she also has keys to Anne's room and mine."
"What size shoes are you wearing?"
"Nine yards."
"You should be able to see Pine Street behind you from the second floor of the mansion during the day."
"I think there should be no problem."
"Except for the guards at the two atriums and the guard at the main entrance, are all your servants basically in the front hall tonight or busy preparing to attend your daughter's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"Yes, you also know that there are too many guests tonight, and the servants, housekeepers, grooms and chefs are all busy."
"I don't have any problems anymore."
Broken glass, wet soil, a holed ceiling, a photo frame without a photo, and two rows of footprints on the high wall leading to the backyard.
Under the influence of the wisdom potion, his logical ability has also been improved.
Annick probably knew who made all this and how. The only question now was where the necklace went. The scene had been inspected by himself, and there was no place to hide such a large gemstone necklace.
There was no pocket on his body and he walked out of the mansion with the necklace, so the thief shouldn't just throw the necklace out of the mansion.
The thief must have hidden the necklace in an unexpected place in the room or taken it out of the room in an unexpected way. It was dark under the light, it was just the thinking of the police.
Wait a minute, it's dark under the light?
Annick looked up at the chandelier with the iron tray. He knew where the necklace was.
"Mr. Carter, I can get the necklace back. Now here are two explanations to explain how your daughter's necklace was lost. Different explanations correspond to different ways to retrieve the necklace." Annick raised his head and said to Councilor Carter expressionlessly.
said.
"Two explanations? Tell me the difference between the two." Representative Carter said with surprise.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find the necklace first. Please help me get off the chair, I'm afraid of falling."
After Annick finished speaking, he moved the chair next to the round table under the chandelier. Councilor Carter stood beside the chair and held the chair. Annick stepped on it, grabbed the tray of the chandelier with his left hand, and put his right hand into the tray to feel around.
Annick took out the hard items from the tray.
The yellow metal shone under the light of the gas, and blood-like gems hung from the bottom of the chain. Annick stepped down from his chair and said to the congressman.
"Mr. Congressman, I have found the necklace for you. There are two explanations for it. One is fictional but can maintain the dignity of your family. The other is close to reality but is quite unseemly."
Representative Carter closed his eyes and looked a little in pain, and asked in a low voice.
"Why is this happening? Am I not a good father?"
"No, Mr. Carter, you may need to spend more time with your family. Although the ruby necklace is quite precious, some people may prefer to enjoy exclusive time with their parents on their birthdays instead of being a father and climbing to a high position.
Tool of."
"Give me a decent ending." Councilor Carter returned to his normal appearance and chose a choice that was in his interests.
"I know your choice. You will publish a story in the Eggsburg Daily News next Monday about a home theft and a ruby necklace being stolen. I hope someone can provide clues. I will write you a letter next Saturday and I will post it at the port underground next week.
When patrolling the black market, I will bump into a suspicious person. During the interrogation, he will be very nervous and then run away. When I chase him, he will drop your stolen necklace from his pocket. Then I will write to you. Please remember to send me a message next week.
Your butler came to the port branch of the Konya Police Station to ask me to bring back your necklace."
After finishing speaking, Annick put the necklace into his pocket, as if it was worthless garbage.
"Is your arrangement reasonable? Forget it, do you have any requirements?" Councilor Carter regained his composure.
"No, no, no, Mr. Carter, I only have one request. The two gentlemen who are responsible for guarding the atrium today hope that you can fine them three days to half a week's wages at most. You can find an excuse to replenish the fines to them in the future." An.
Nick laughed.
"only these?"
"That's all. I may need to write more case files next week."
"I know why Mr. Russell is looking at you like that. Haha, young man, your future achievements may not be as simple as having a seat in the back seat of the House of Commons." Senator Carter said half-complimentally and half-seriously.
.
My future? I just want to go home early. This world without new shows or games is really boring. Annick complained in his heart.
"Come on, let's go back. It's already past nine o'clock in the evening. Sir, I have to go to work tomorrow morning." Annick said to Councilor Carter after looking at his watch.
Returning to the front hall, no one was continuing to dance in the main hall. Most of the guests were sitting on both sides chatting. Councilor Carter cleared his throat and said:
"Thank you for taking the time to attend my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. I was delayed for a while because of a small matter. There is also an entertainment room on the second floor with billiards, poker and plenty of drinks. If there are other things tomorrow, I won't force it.
Stayed."
"Let's go back, Tutor Russell, Mr. Ron, we're leaving first. You guys have a good time." Annick greeted the two younger sisters who were still looking for snacks.
"I'll come with you and take you back on the way. Ron, remember to tell Carter for me, we're leaving first." Mr. Russell pointed to Congressman Carter, who was still greeting the guests.
"Well, you are still so good at calling people, my old senior." Director Ron said with a wry smile.
Mr. Russell's carriage was smaller than Director Ron's carriage. Annick and Mr. Russell crowded on one side, and his two sisters sat on the other side.
There is no soft backrest either, so the bumps on such a long road would be too much for my waist.
"How did it turn out?" asked Mr. Russell, lighting his pipe.
"Congressman Carter's family lost a necklace, the one he took out at his coming-of-age ceremony."
"Ah, I'm afraid Miss Anne will die of grief. How much is such a big ruby worth?" Irina asked.
"I think your brother has not eaten or drank for at least five years. Such a large gem should be at least fifteen hundred gold pounds." After finishing speaking, Annick took out the necklace from his pocket.
Under the dim light of the street gas lamp shining through the carriage window, the ruby lost its luster and looked like a glass handicraft bought at a street stall.
"Why are you here? No, we have been eating in the front hall. Brother, when did you get the ability to clone yourself?" Irina asked in surprise.
"If you don't turn yourself in to Director Ron, your interest will be reduced for a few years." This time it was the poisonous Irena.
"Are you serious?" Annick looked at Irena sitting opposite.
"Of course not. At least Irina and I have four more years of college to stay at our beloved second brother's house."
"I don't feel any respect or love here. Let's get down to business. The necklace you see now was recovered from a thief next week."
"Next week?" Irena asked in confusion.
"Let me finish. After 7:30 tonight, a thief broke in from the backyard of Congressman Carter's house, then stole into Miss Anne's room on the second floor, knocked on the door, turned it over and finally stole the necklace." Annick said.
Chapter completed!
